Modified version of Mom’s recipe. I like the way my mom prepares it. But this is a easy version of her recipe. It still tastes yummy ♥..
You need,
- Squid – 500 grams, cleaned, washed and chopped/sliced
- Turmeric powder – 1/2 teaspoon
- Shallots – 1 cup sliced
- Ginger – 1 table spoon, finely chopped
- Garlic – 2 table spoon, finely chopped
- Chili powder- 1 teaspoon
- Salt – To taste
- Fresh grated coconut- 1 cup
- Coconut Oil – 2 tablespoon (I prefer using coconut oil, as it gives more flavor)
- Mustard seeds – 1 teaspoon
- Cumin seeds – 1/4 teaspoon
- Fenugreek seeds – 1/4 teaspoon
- Curry leaves – 2 sprigs
- Dry Red chili – 2 nos
You have to
- Cook squid, sliced shallots, ginger, garlic, red chili powder, turmeric, 1 spring curry leaves in a earthen vessel with some water (1/2 cup should do) in medium flame.
- Add salt to taste. If there is still gravy, heat till it absorbs. Dont burn the squid. Keep aside or reduce the flame to minimum and start preparing the tempering.
- In another pan heat oil
- Add fenugreek seeds and saute for 2-3 seconds
- Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Once the mustard seeds pop up, add the dry red chilies and curry leaves.
- Now transfer tempering to the earthen pan and bring the heat high.
- Add grated coconut and stir fry till combined. Remove from fire
- Serve with rice/chappathi
♥ ♥ Love you mom ♥ ♥ !!!
Notes:
1. According to my mother’s recipe she coarsely grind the coconut with cumin seeds, turmeric and few shallots.
2. You can use onions as well. you need to quarter and slice
